Grace for your spirit November 13, 2008

Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" Genesis 3:1

Most of us know the story about Eve in the Garden of Eden. She was surprised by the tempter coming to her in the form of a serpent. As a result she fell into temptation. We might have a plan to stay away from snakes in order to avoid the plots of the devil, but will it work? Adam didn’t see the snake, nor did he debate with the devil over what God said. He simply was led into sin by his mate. Adam knew his Master, his mission, and his mate. He allowed his mate to overshadow the influence of His Master and mission, and sin overtook him. Let’s not be naïve. The temper works in many ways. Sometimes he comes right at you, sometime you send your friends and relatives. Be on guard.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
